for_each_available_child_of_node performs an of_node_get on each iteration, so a break out of the loop requires an of_node_put. A simplified version of the semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr): // <smpl> @@ expression root,e; local idexpression child; @@ for_each_available_child_of_node(root, child) { ... when != of_node_put(child) when != e = child ( return child; | + of_node_put(child); ? return ...; ) ... } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/phy/mdio-mux-mmioreg.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/net/phy/mdio-mux-mmioreg.c b/drivers/net/phy/mdio-mux-mmioreg.c index 2377c13..7fde454 100644 --- a/drivers/net/phy/mdio-mux-mmioreg.c +++ b/drivers/net/phy/mdio-mux-mmioreg.c @@ -113,12 +113,14 @@ static int mdio_mux_mmioreg_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) if (!iprop || len != sizeof(uint32_t)) { dev_err(&pdev->dev, "mdio-mux child node %s is " "missing a 'reg' property\n", np2->full_name); + of_node_put(np2); return -ENODEV; } if (be32_to_cpup(iprop) & ~s->mask) { dev_err(&pdev->dev, "mdio-mux child node %s has " "a 'reg' value with unmasked bits\n", np2->full_name); + of_node_put(np2); return -ENODEV; } } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
